MOTOR

SAFETY PROTECTION

The saw motor

is

equipped with a manual-reset thermal
overload protector, designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.

1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,

press the saw switch to the

"

OFF'

position immediately

and allow the

motor to cool.

2.

After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the over

-

load protector can be closed manually

by

pushing in

the red button on the motar capacitor cover.

button will not snap into place immediately, the motor

is

still

too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while

longer. (An audible click will indicate protector

is

closed.)

3.

As

soori os the red button will snap into running position,

the

saw moy be started and operated normally by press

-

ing the saw switch to the

"ON"

position.

4.

Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result

if

motor

is

overloaded, or if the motor circuit

is

fused

with a fuse other than those recommended.

Do

not use

a fuse of greater copocity without consulting the power

company.

5.

Although the motor

is

designed for operation on the

voltage and frequency

specified on motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not

more than 10% above or below the

narneplote voltage.

Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor

terminals be not less than the voltage specified on

nameplate.

6.

Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (which
results when small size wires are used in the supply

circui:) or when the supply circuit

is

extremely long.
Always check connections, load and supply circuit when
the motor fails to perform

satisfactorily. Check wire

sizes and lengths with the table in the next poragraph.

and against the saw blade, as shown in figure 12.

2.

When the saw blade

is

square with the table top, no

light will be visible between

the square and face of saw

blode. Do not

a:low the square to rest against o tooth

of the saw.

If

light

is

the square

firmly against the

saw

blade and table
top. apply pressure against lower part of saw blade
with the thumb until

~pproximately 1 /32-inch clear

­ance exists between the square and lower edge of

rip

fence and the saw blade

as shown in figure 14. The long leg of the square must

be held firmly against the rip fence and table top
and the short leg must not touch any of the teeth on
the saw blade.

2.

If a gap exists between the saw blade and the-square,

one of two types of

"

heel" exists. (See figure 13.) To

correct for either type of condition,

proceed as follows:

a.

Remove the left-hand carriage cover

(1,

figure 14)

by removing the two attaching screws

(2).

b.

Loosen the yoke clamp handle

(7,

15).

d.

Rotate the yoke until the gap between saw blode
and square

is

eliminated. (See figure

14.)

e. Lock the yake and tighten the two hex-head screws

(1;

ADJUSTMENT OF

RIP

SCALE INDICATORS

w

NOTE:

The rip scales and pointers are intend

­ed to be used for quick settings. For greater
accuracy, toke direct measurement between
blade and fence.

1.

When the fence

is

in its normal position (next to the

front table), index the yoke

90'

from the cross-cut posi

-

tion so that the blade

is

between the motor and the

fence. Lock the yoke.

2. Move the motor along the radial arm until the blade,
when spun by

hond, just touches the front face of the

fence. (See figure

18.)

The indicator on the right-hand

side of radial arm should now reod 0

-

inches on lower

portion of the

"In-

Rip" scale. If not, logsen the

two

screws and shift the indicator to reod 0-inches.

NOTE:

With the saw bldde and fence in the

position shown in figure

18,

the lower portion

of the

"in-

Rip" scale

is

used. If the fence is
moved to the extreme rear position, the upper
portion of the scale

is

u.sed.

3.

The "Out-Rip" scale pointer, located on the left-hand

side of radial arm,

is

adjusted in essentially the same

manner as the

"in-

Rip" scale pointer, except the blade

should be positioned as shown in figure 17. With

12-

inches measured between the fence (when in full rear
position) and face of saw blade, the pointer

should be

set to the

12"

position. The upper portion of the "Out-

Rip" scale

is

used when the fence

is

in the rear position.

(See

figure

19.)

The lower portion of the scale

is

used

when the fence

is

located in the usual position - at the

rear edge of front table board.

SET-UP

GUIDE

A

combined number and color code system, designated as

a

"

SET-UP GUIDE", has been applied to the saw in order

to simplify the location

of

tontrols required for a particular

set

-

up operation. The "SET-UP GUIDE

"

is

both a conveni

­ence and safety measure, particularly for inexperienced
operators., The operator should become familiar with this

feature before operating the saw.

A

brief explanotion of

the

"

SET-UP GUIDE" is as follows: (See figure

21.)

1.

Notice the radial arm trim strip, the forward end of
which contains six diagrams numbered

"1"

through

..

6".

Each number

is

in a colored circle, and a corres

­ponding number in an identical colored circle will be
an the particular operating control member involved.

2.

Locate each control and become familiar with its oper

­ation.

a.

"

DEPTH

OF

CUT".

Diagram shows

:he

elevation

crank which

is

used to raise and lower the

blade.

The

numeral

"1"

in a light-blue circle

is

on the crank

handle.

b.

"

ANGLE

OF

CUT".

Two controls 'are involved in re-.

leasing, securing and indexing the angle of the radial

arm. These are: arm latch handle and arm

latch

lever. The handle

is

marked with a dot:-blue circle.

c.

"

CARRIAGE

PIVOT".

'TWO

controls are used in this

operation.

They are: swivel latch knob and yoke

clamp handle, each marked with the numeral

"3"

in an orange circle.

d.

"

CARRIAGE

LOCK".

The carriage lock knob

is

rotated clockwise to secure the carriage on radial
arm, and counterclockwise to release it. The numeral

"4"

in a green circle

is

at the center of the knob.

e.

"

BLADE

ANGLE".

The two controls used in angular

positioning and indexin

g

of the motor to provide the

desired saw

blade angle are: bevel lock knob and

latch pin handle. The numeral

"5"

in a yellow circle

is

attached to the bevel lock knob. The latch pin

handle

is

painted yellow.

f.

"

POWER

SWITCH". This switch

is

located in the

upper left area of the carriage and has the

numeral

"6"

in a red circle directly under it.

USE OF

KEY

AND SWITCH

NOTE: This

savt cannot be operated without

the key, and likewise, the key cannot be re

­moved trom the lock while the sow motor is
running. This feature was designed into your
saw for safety and protection.

1.

Insert key

in

slot and turn it. (See figure 22.)

2.

Press the right-hand side of toggle switch lever to turn
the saw

ON.

Press left-hand side of switch to turn

saw

OFF.

ANGULAR MOVEMENT AND LOCKING

OF

RADIAL

ARM

These movements are controlled by the arm latch lever

(1,

figure 23) and the arm latch handle (12). The radial

arm can be rotated

360° and locked in any position. The

arm

is

unlocked from any position by a slight counterclock

-

wise rotation of the arm latch handle (12) and is locked
in any position by rotating the arm latch handle clockwise
until tight. The radial arm has positive stops at

O0

and 45O
left and right, and is released from these index positions
by unlocking the arm latch handle (12) and pulling

out

the arm latch lever

(1).

For most positive and accurate settings at the index posi

-

tions, the following

is

recommended:

1. If the radial arm is already indexed,

rotate the arm

latch handle (12, figure 23)

1/4

turn counterclock

­wise from the locked position, pull out the arm latch

lever

(1)

and move the radial arm off the index position.

Release the arm latch lever

(1).

2.

Move the radial arm into the index position (do not

bump or

jar it) and push on the handle (12) or arm

latch lever (1) solidl

y

with the palm of the hand. (See

figure

24).

This

is

very important as it insures proper

seating of the

arm lock pin in the arm latch, thus always

returning the arm to the correct cross

-

cut (0°) position.

3.

Lock the radial arm by rotating the arm latch handle
(12, figure 23) clockwise until tight.

CAUTION: When moving the radial arm in any

direction beyond

4S0 left or right, always pull

out the arm latch lever (at end of radial arm)
to prevent damaging the arm lock pin.

If

dam

­age occurs, the radial arm will not index
properly at

0'

and 4S0 positions (left to right).

MOVEMENT

AND

POSITION OF MOTOR

IN

YOKE

These movements are controlled by

th'e latch'pin handle

(6,

figure 23) and bevel lock knob (7). The bevel scale

indicates the angular position

of

the motor with respect

to

horizontal from

O0

to 90° in either vertical position. The

latch pin handle

(6)

outornotically indexes the motor at

0°,

45O and 90° up and down. Lift the latch pin handle to

release. At any other position, the latch pin handle

is

not
engaged. The bevel lock knob (7) locks the motor to the
yoke when the motor is in any position. Rotate it clockwise

to lock; counterclockwise to unlock.

MOVEMENT

AND

POSITION

OF

THE YOKE

These are controlled by the swivel latch pin knob

(2,

figure

25)

and the yoke clamp handle (4). The swivel latch pin

automatically indexes the yoke at each

90° position.

Lift

the knob to release. The yoke clamp handle

(4)

locks the

yokc to the carriage in any position. Pull the handle to

release. Push

it

to tighten.
